<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 2314976, member: 5833"]They are very well made, very high quality for what they are. What impresses me more is the genius in selecting what to copy. A lot of them were molded from bronzes Edward Wyon made & ivories by Duquesnoy, featuring children, putti, mythological or fantasy scenes. No Napoleon, no Wellington. I've put up the various medals that were set into the back; now have to move on to the reliefs themselves. Doubt I've actually seen them all, but knowing about the medals prepares one to recognize others. Think I also need to round up more photos of the backs of some of the frames. There was a clear attempt to deceive perpetrated by the maker of the plaques or the framer if that was someone else. And I'm not even up to the frogs![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
